Rest day activities include fixing Lopsang’s prayer beads. (Adam Angel)
The Dolpo Team took a scheduled rest day at Ringmo Camp. Ringmo is the village at the southern shore of Phoksundo Lake. The village is established on the 40,000 year old landslide / natural dam that created the lake. The lake is almost 500’ deep and must be seen in person to appreciate the magnificent color of the water. We took a rest day here and visited the 900 year old Thashung Gompa on the eastern side of the lake.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a 3 day long trek towards the team’s first high pass!
